The Indian Head tests took place in April 1989. According to the quotation with which I prefaced my article &quot;Lockerbie - The Heathrow Evidence&quot; &quot;to the relief of security chiefs Orr had effectively eliminated Heathrow within three weeks of the bombing&quot;! (i.e. by the 11th January 1989.) <br /><br />Orr had &quot;eliminated&quot; Heathrow even before the primary suitcase had been identified as a samsonite! (This guy went on to be Chief Constable!) No wonder the prosecution didn&#39;t put him up as a witness - the defence should have called him though.<br /><br />Curious that the SCCRC had nothing to say on the issue. Perhpas none of the dimwits who actually made submissions thought it of any relevance! Too busy gibbering twaddle about Khalid Jafaar I guess.<br /><br />I have the advantage over other contributors in knowing from personal experience just how stupid senior Police Officers can be. Indeed, if I may digress, with an anecdote readers may find amusing and instructive, the year before Lockerbie I had virtually the same experience in pointing out the blindingly obvious. <br /><br />In the summer of 1987 (while I was on leave in the UK) I read in the Telegraph that there had been three terrorist bombings in Hong Kong. Responsibility was claimed by an entity calling itself the &quot;Hong Kong Terrorist Association&quot;. On my return I had been posted to the Organised &amp; Serious Crime Group (OSCG) but was arrested and interdicted (suspended) on my return. I resigned and never returned to duty. <br /><br />A few days before I left Hong Kong for good I was in OSCG HQ and ran into &quot;Timmy&quot; who was the Chief Inspector in charge of the &quot;HKTA&quot; taskforce. &quot;Timmy&quot; and I had worked in the same unit a few years before with a Chinese officer &quot;WONG&quot; whose nickname was &quot;mental&quot;.<br /><br />One day &quot;mental&quot; just wasn&#39;t there any more. Apparently he had been found to be too mentally unstable even to serve as an officer with the Royal Hong Kong Police. In my experience this represented a profoundly disturbed personality. <br /><br />In the meantime I had heard that WONG had committed some crimes just to show he was cleverer that the Police.<br /><br />I suggested to &quot;Timmy&quot; that the HKTA was somebody like WONG. &quot;Timmy&quot; thought about this for a nanosecond and said &quot;No, couldn&#39;t be&quot;. &quot;The person we are after is Chinese but speaks good English, has a grudge against the Police and is an expert chemist&quot; (things I didn&#39;t know.) <br /><br />I pointed out WONG was Chinese and spoke good English and had a major (and unusual) grudge against the Police. I also told Timmy something he obviously didn&#39;t know about WONG. He was a Chemistry graduate! Timmy thought about it for another microsecond and said &quot;No - couldn&#39;t be.&quot; <br /><br />Despite the Governor having promised the people of Hong Kong the culprit would be brought to justice the case was never solved. The &quot;HKTA&quot; had made his point. he was cleverer than the Police! Still Timmy went onwards and upwards!bazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338162927520376063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-59157139023743310982012-03-16T13:44:13.407+00:002012-03-16T13:44:13.407+00:00MISSION LOCKERBIE, 2012.

Do not forget:<br /><br />The deliberate involvement Libya and Abdelbaset al-Megrahi in the bombing of Panam 103 began with a visit to Abdul Majid Giaka and his girlfriend, at the American embassy in Malta at 10 August 1988.<br /><br />Giaka and his girlfriend, &quot;Doris&quot; wanted to emigrate to the USA, so Giaka was persuaded by his girlfriend, &quot;trade&quot; his knowledge of &quot;Libya Secrets&quot; against asylum in the United States.<br /><br />Court Kamp van Zeist: <br />Q I think it&#39;s in the LiveNote. You told the Americans on the 10th of August that you were no longer active in security work, you wanted to go to America, and as part of that operation you were prepared to identify individuals and diplomats in the Libyan government service.<br />Giaka: A Yes.<br />Q Now, what arrangements were made for the following day? Can you remember?<br /><br />Giaka: A The second day.<br />Q Yes. So your second contact with the American embassy is on the 11th of August, and you went back to the embassy with your female friend; is that right?<br />A That is correct.<br /><br />Q Late afternoon of 11 August, Libyan walk-in, Abd Al Majid Giaka, returned with his Maltese girlfiend and translator. During the three-hour interview, the case officer told Giaka that -- I am told that the blacked-out section indicates U.S. government. <br /><br />You told the Americans on the 10th of August that you had been in the Security Service between 1984 and 1986, you were no longer active in security work, you wanted to go to America, and as part of that operation you were prepared to identify individuals and diplomats in the Libyan government service. --- <br /><br />--- So the case officer told you that the United States government was extremely interested in your information, wanted to assist you, but could not act upon the request by the 12th of August.<br /><br />You responded that you had anticipated such a reply and had decided overnight that you would return to Libya as instructed on the 12th of August. Assuming you are acquitted of any wrongdoing for your role in the airport fiasco, and you were able to return to Malta, you volunteered to work for the U.S. government on a secret basis. Is that right?<br /><br />A Well, the meaning of voluntary work --<br /><br />by Edwin and Mahnaz Bollier, MEBO Ltd. Switzerland.
